Daily Question – 125

Today’s question is from Meera. Identify and come up with a literary connection.

Answer:

Meera writes, “Visual 1 is Sir Pelham Warner, known affectionately as Plum Warner and the Grand Old Man of English cricket.

Visual 2 is Percy Jeeves British first-class cricketer from England, playing 50 matches for Warwickshire County Cricket Club from 1912 to 1914. I quote from a Cricinfo profile, “When P G Wodehouse racked his
brains to come up with a name for his uber-butler, he recalled the Warwickshire fast bowler with the whippy action”.

Visual 3 is PG Wodehouse.

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse was also known affectionately as Plum. Please do read the delightfully well written profile-brimming with elegant prose-from Cricinfo here. http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/england/content/player/15666.html
Although it says “The flesh-and-blood Jeeves may never have attempted to dissuade friends from wearing lilac spats….”. However, we have always held that the spats were mauve. And mauve is not quite lilac.”

Every Plum Gorger knows this one.
